Making money online from home is actually pretty easy if you have an internet connection. This article will show you some of the ways I have made money online.

1. The Online Surveys

It is as easy as it sounds. Certain websites offer money or vouchers for your time. They will offer you a number of surveys to participate in. Research companies are always recruiting new members to answer surveys and you can make as much as £10 an hour for your time. If you are like me, who is never far away from a computer, then it makes sense to have a window open to one of these sites. I have only used SwagBucks and YouGov so far, but there are far more sites out there with the same principal.

2. Rewards-Based Sign-Ups

20Cogs is one that offers huge sums of money, but it also requires you to put money into the sites it gives you. It may ask you to put £10 into a website and it will give you £10 for your efforts. Sometimes it will give you a cog that requires subscriptions to be completed, but you can cancel subscriptions after a few days. You can also gain money from inviting friends. My personal experience with them is mixed, but that’s not to say it isn’t for you. If you are a gambler, then it seems this could benefit you because it gets you to sign up to different gambling sites that have sign-up bonuses.

3. Becoming A Tester

Becoming a product tester is easy to apply for, but harder to be chosen. I have only signed up to test a couple of products and I have not been chosen thus far. If you are chosen, however, you test, review and then keep the products. You can then sell them or keep the products yourself. Whichever you choose is a profit.

4. Selling Stock Photo’s

I have only just found out about this form of making money. If you’re a photo happy person with great shots people may want to use, you can sell photo’s on Adobe Stock and other photo stock selling websites. Whether you take great landscape photo’s or have some amazing general snaps you think people will buy, then this is a great way to go.

5. Website Advertising

If you have your own website then you definitely want to monetise it with adverts. Google Adsense is the best option to get adverts on your website and get paid. You can fit it in around your website without too much disruption.

6. The Freelancer

If you have skills, why not sell them. Certain sites like Fiverr allow freelancers to charge for services such as; Writing, Music, Art and so on. There are plenty of categories to enter yourself into. Even if you feel like you don’t have any particular skill, there is something you could do for someone on it. I cannot speak highly enough of this particular website. It has been amazing for me.

7. The Music

I have been an indie artist for many years and I have been quite successful. If you have an ear for music then you can make simple loop music digitally. There are a lot of free music production tools online. You can the either sell it as royalty free music to various people or websites, or you can find a free distributor, such as RouteNote, and sell it online as an independent musician. You can also review music for around £60 per month on SliceThePie, which doesn’t sound much, but if you love music, might as well get paid for your time.

8. Gaming

There are plenty of ways to make a revenue through playing games. You can now stream game-play directly to website like YouTube and Twitch and if you manage to get enough followers of your streams then you could find lots of money in your bank via advertisements and donations. Alternatively, you can become a games tester. In early stages of game creation, the developers need hundreds of testers to find glitches and so on. You can be paid up to £300 per day for your efforts.

9. Voice Acting

If you’re into acting, but don’t want to leave your home, then try voice acting. All you need is a microphone and a bit of software on your computer. Who knows where it could end. Again, you could use Fiverr to get clients and set the prices you want.

10. Competitions

There are lots of free websites online where they give away products or money as prizes. You won’t have to pay anything out and if you’re lucky enough to win, you instantly profit. I have only just started on the competitions, but MyOffers seems legit and fingers crossed I win something.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article and most importantly, I hope it makes you money. Don’t be shy to share it on social media and don’t forget to subscribe to my website for updates.

In today’s society it is common to only think of domestic abuse as affecting women, however, statistically speaking there are far more men being abused. The difference is that men are far less likely to report such abuse for one reason or another.

For me, speaking from experience, I was in an abusive relationship around ten years ago. She would stop me from talking to certain friends, she would constantly want to know who was texting and ringing my phone, she would even go through messages to make sure that I wasn’t being “Naughty with other girls.”

We didn’t officially live with each other, she had a flat somewhere and I had my own, but she wanted to be with me 24 hours a day, so when I wasn’t staying at hers she would be staying at mine. I remember her staying at my flat one night and I was speaking with the next door neighbour – who was a woman – I looked up at my spare bedroom window in horror as I saw her watching me talk to her. When she saw me she moved away from the window and I had to quickly wrap up my conversation with the woman. I walked up the stairs in dread as I didn’t know what she was going to say or do. We had an argument and she put her fist through my bedroom door.

I moved from my flat to another one around the corner and at the time I had to have mental health staff from the NHS visit me on a regular basis. It was on such a day that they were due to come round that my Girlfriend wanted to check my phone, I had no choice but to let her and she didn’t like what she saw. An argument ensued which resulted in her assaulting me so bad that blood began to drip from the side of my head. The NHS Staff came in to witness the aftermath of the assault. Whilst I was being seen to be the staff, she packed up things in my flat. She even took food knowing that I had no money to replace it.

I was embarrassed by the whole thing and didn’t want to get her into trouble at the time so I never reported it. Shortly afterwards I split up with her for good but she gave me a dire warning, that if I didn’t reconsider there would be consequences, but I shrugged it off. It’s been ten years and this woman still tried to control me and do damage to my life one way or the other. It’s a desperate situation that I have been subjected to.

The point of this is that men need to recognise and report the signs of domestic abuse. Do not fall into the way of thinking that it is embarrassing. If you are suffering from domestic abuse you should report it. There are a number of places you can get help.
